I don't think your idea would ever work. I think the way the tax system gets by everyday with all the corruption and waste associated with it is by the simple premise "Out of sight, out of mind". Taxes are paid by the average Joe a little at a time, I think most Joe's would simply freak out if they received a total sum bill at the end of the year. Actually, your idea would work in a perfect system, but we know how rare those are.

In the case of a refund, it might even take the form of a check that, if cashed signifies your intention not to file a return.
